Is he doing anything good in the legislature? He smiles and says, "Praise Jesus," but what's he doing to warrant the people sending him down to represent them?
I really would like to hear of something positive here because I'm beginning to wonder about the guy -- to see him as just like the others. I thought he should be above them. But I just don't know.

You have to be dubious of ANYONE who is 'part of the pack?' And who supports this Governor...as a 'Yes' man!

He belongs to these committees:
Education, Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, Industrial Development and Recruitment, Veterans and Military Affairs, Local Legislation No. 2
But it doesn't tell what they are working toward. You can't SEE anything they are working for.

You know what Killer, Until you brought it up, I had never really gave it much thought. And the reason for this, Nothing really ever comes out of Montgomery period. The 3 biggest things in the past 4 or 5 years has been Riley's big tax plain, naming a state bird or ( is that honey bee) i forget, and the big pay increased for Hank and the others, , With that said I like hank, I think for a politician he is as honest as can be expected! Remember the charges they tried to bring across on him? Read it Hereat the end they had nothing!! SO I looked it up on google and all I could find is this 1 He blamed Katrina on the sins of the people 2 he supports Riley 3 he supports Moore 4 he is a radio DJ on 101.1fm That is all I could find, But hey look up some of the others and you will find less then that, so I say he is doing his job

erwin is right now trying to claim he was dead set against this...the PROBLEM with that claim is what did he DO to try and stop it? did he attempt a fillibuster? why NO he didnt!

at the same time billt fillibusters cost money tax money so, lets assume that he had allready talked to the governer and new that the governer would veto the bill! So hank votes no
the governer vetos
and Hank saved us lots of money!

outcast wrote, "With that said I like hank, I think for a politician he is as honest as can be expected!" Maybe Hank is better than some down there. But is that good enough? The answer should be NO. We have such low expectations of our politicians that if they do ok, we send them back. Can we raise the bar, please? Yes, Hank is talking about how he will refuse the pay raise. That's good. It's a start. But I want to see more. We need fighters who will change the system. Not those who, for the most part, go along. They say, "That's politics... and that's the reason we have to do things this way..." BS!! They do it that way because they are too WEAK to go against it. And this includes the whole bunch.

You are right billt people don't
Please i hope from my post that yall didn't think I was taking up for hank , cause I wasn't
I'm with killer I wanted to vote all them out even the Good Governor him self, Heck I voted for Moore, it wasn't much of a vote but it was fresh blood, its like this little one horse town I live in, everyone standing around bitching about the way things are, but they been voting the same ones in to the town hall for 50 years! I was just stating I think Hank is honest for a politic an , but yes we need to raise the bar, we need fresh blood, I think we need a law that if the people we send to Montgomery or to Washington for that matter every 6 months we should vote and see if we want to keep them or fire them what other job do you know of that you can set on your hands for 4 years do nothing really and return for round 2, 3 4 and so on, just a thought

Erwin something, 'citizen,' oops, silly Frank blurted out an answer! I wanted to call and tell Erwin.......get rid of your 'front' man...'er boy !!!!

Erwin's not the bad guy here. You do not like him, which I get. Painting him as the bad guy here is silly.

Erwin's not the bad guy here. You do not like him, which I get. Painting him as the bad guy here is silly. ...just like the majority of crooks who wrap themselves in a flag and start pounding the desk for Christ and country. Erwin's doing nothing more than grandstanding for the marks back home in Montevallo by saying "I'd turn down the raise if I could". Combine a preacher and a politician and you get nothing more than a bag of hot air. That's Erwin. As I asked before; does anyone know what he really does to earn a living?

It's amazing how pounding the pulpit will get voters by the droves. They'll go blindly to the polls without knowing about the pounder's votes and legislation. "He's against gay marriage and abortion, praise the Lord.... He gets my vote," says the blind (who call themselves Christians.)

How is it that there are some people that are convinced that they can read the thoughts of other people's minds and determine the reason why they vote for Erwin? Have you two gone to Montevallo and asked all the voters there if they are unaware of Erwin's votes and any legislation he has authored\co-authored? I didn't think so....
I find it rather weak to go around accusing Christians of being blind when they vote when you have zero proof to go on and instead rely on what? Prejudice.

actually dale, hank is the one doing the painting himself as the good guy.....there are NO 'good guys" involved in this pay raise, the repubs KNEW this was going down and let it happen.
all the indignation now is PURE SHOW for the gullible among us.
why say "i wont take the raise" when you KNOW there is a law in place that FORCES you to "take the raise"?
why tell please to call their representative and tell them you dont support this? they ALL ALREADY know the people dont support this, that is why they put on this false show about the demos rushing it through and the repubs NOT being able to stop it, BS on BOTH counts!
the repubs KNEW what was going on, could have stopped it and didnt!
bishop on matt's show said we will shut the senate down next week....common sense if they can do that next week, why didnt they do that BEFORE the vote?
the problem i have with erwin is his dishonesty on many levels, he claims his show is paid for by himself, TRUTH is he formed a company (he enterprises) and buys air time from crawford, BUT he sells ads on that time and does NOT pay for the show himself.
and simple reality, hank claimed hurricane katrina was God taking judgement on the people of new orleans for their decadant lifestyle, and anyone that believes such nonsense is NOT in touch with reality!
God gave man freewill, hank erwin tries to use the force of government to DENY free will!

phinehas,
Prejudice? Prejudiced against what?

Post by phinehas on Mar 10, 2007 12:54:37 GMT -5
killer,
prejudice: a. An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.
You have judged the Christians that have voted Erwin into office as being blind based on what? You most certainly have not asked those specific Christians why they vote for Erwin but have formed your negative opinion which is not based on any facts, so therefore it is prejudice. Why you choose to be prejudice in your judgements towards the people you declare as blind and "self-called" Christians is up to you to explain.

I believe my opinion is accurate.
You have not done research to prove my statements are wrong. Do so if you like.
